Win an Invite Code to Download an Early Copy of Twitter for BlackBerry! Just leave a comment to this post that contains your twitter username.

It's no secret that Research in Motion has been working on their own Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones client for some time now. Word of it has popped up on the blogs a few times now and we've seen it make tweets and it has even been mentioned at recent BlackBerry launch events. Twitter users will be happy to know that today Twitter for BlackBerry has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality for users out there has RIM has announced it in beta form and made it avaliable for invite-only download from blackberry.com/twitterdownload. And you can sign up to receive updates from RIM on the availability of the Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones at blackberry.com/twitter. Right now, the invite-only beta is available in six languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese and it's looking like the beta should last "around a month" after which I can only imagine it will soon become available to everyone.

While Adam goes to work whipping up a video review of the new Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones client as part of his Ultimate Twitter Client Roundup (we'll report back soon with more), here's an exciting contest...

I'm in love with geotagging on my BB. Not only do people get to see what I'm doing but they get to know where I am at all times. Which also makes it easier for serial killers to find me. But it's all in the fun!!

Really looking for a Twitter app that I love. Seesmic, Übertwitter, Yatca, and Openbeak/Twitterberry haven't done it for me. Sometimes it makes me regret leaving the iPhone with all their beautiful Twitter apps that are very easy to use. I'm hoping the offical RIM
Twitter is something to use for years to come.

@Tula13 - I'd like a Blackberry/Twitter client to have a nicer/smoother interface than the ones that are currently out. I use UberTwitter on my BB & Twitterific Premium on my iPod Touch & Twitterific is definitely more polished but the user interface isnt as good as UberTwitter. It'd be nice to find one that blends both of their better sides together.

This client needs to have all the things everyone else has, plus a few more!

I neeeeeeed a way to accept my follow requests! This on a free client made by RIM would be awesome! It would also be nice if it could incorporate "TwitVid" in some way! I also like being able to enlarge other people's avatars!

My twitter name @jeffreylramsey my life http://www.jeffreylramsey.com all I have is time. I couldn't survive without my blackberry, computer and TV and all my apps including twitter. Look at my tweets I have 1000s I was shot in back and paralyzed I'm stuck here in pain extreme spasms, slowly dying, bad day. TY. Jeff

I like ubertwitter but I'd like to be able to get to my @replies and DM's faster. I'd like to be able to click on a link in a tweet without having to open the tweet itself to get to the link. I'd also like the refresh rate to be a little faster.

Seriously. This is an absolutely GORGEOUS twitter app! I would love to be a part of the beta testing!
I love ubertwitter because of the options it has, but it definitely isn't a looker (albeit much easier on the eyes since the updates). I need push, teending topics, search, ability of upload photos for tweets and for profile pics. Editing my profile is also a nice touch that I'm quite fond of with ubertwitter. I've only just recently become infatuated with twitter, but I seriously love it.
I really hope I'm not too late with finding this post -_-
